Flexy Stone – Gold/Brown
You may have seen this material on some sexy saltwater crabs, but this material is great in freshwater as well!
This unique material usage on my Flexy Stone creates a realistic profile with great wing case definition, differentiating it from classic chenille wrapped stonefly patterns.
The translucent quality of the tubing imparts realism in the water, shows through to the bead segmentation in the abdomen and the long legs for movement seal the deal.
The fly is extremely durable and will fish great wherever big stoneflies crawl!

This Flexy Stone caught several big stoneflies on a clear morning stream. The translucent tubing really makes it look natural, especially when the water is moving. The legs move well and the wing case looks authentic. I’ve used it in both freshwater and saltwater, and it holds up well under pressure.

Great detail in the abdomen and legs. The gold and brown color match the natural stoneflies I see in the river. It’s durable and doesn’t fray easily. I caught a trout on it during a dry fly session.

Looks realistic and performs well in the current. The movement is smooth, and the translucent body gives it a lifelike appearance. A bit more expensive than standard patterns, but worth it for the realism.
